Re: Aerial infrared photography

To regret I have dig every corner in my room but failed to get the source material. I know that that was fanzine made in the early ’90 somewhere in Russia and freely distributed among the modelers. Can not remember the name of publication or the article. But I have keep translation in Serbian and here is my attempt to make it in English:


Experience gained from the first war year state that camouflage pattern used does not perform satisfactory protection in the different environments. The fact that enemy reconnaissance airplanes used films sensitive on various range of spectrum made additional disturbance. In this reason in the mid of 1942 were decided to make "non defined colors"....

Author is V. I. Romanov from Viljnus. Original text from Russian was translated by professor Vasilije Stojanovic and this is first detailed study of the camouflage colors of the Soviet Union I have ever seen.
